Brené Brown Instagram – Oliver Sacks wrote: “Music can pierce the heart directly; it needs no mediation.” I love this quote, and some of the most heart-piercing music in my life comes straight out of Austin, Texas. Hello Willie, Gary Clark Jr., Lucinda Williams, and Shakey Graves — just to name a few.
I’d love for y’all to join us for a special fundraiser in Austin — the “Live Music Capital of the World.”
On April 2nd, two of my favorite Austin musicians, Gina Chavez and Carrie Rodriguez, will join me and “Texas Monthly’s” John Spong for a night of song and storytelling to benefit HAAM — The Health Alliance for Austin Musicians.
HAAM provides access to affordable healthcare for greater Austin’s low-income, working musicians, with a focus on prevention and wellness. Many Austin musicians are self-employed and have no access to health insurance or basic healthcare. They often work multiple jobs and struggle to pay for basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter, with nothing left for healthcare.
I hope you’ll join us! You can buy tickets at thelongcenter.org — all funds go directly to HAAM!
Rock on. | Posted on 19/Mar/2024 22:51:33
